This Slow Cooker Southwestern Bean and Barley Soup is a delicious and easy vegetarian meal. It’s been too long since I made it, and I’m so glad I tried it again! I originally wrote about this recipe in 2010 – it was #337 of my […]
Fall-like weather has made an appearance here in South Jersey. I love fall. Autumn is a great time to do some baking. In the spring, I finally began to make bread again. I didn’t make bread as often as I’d hoped to do, but I […]
I didn’t grow up eating much fish, so this recipe for salmon with baked couscous was the only fish recipe I made for several years. The salmon, baked under a layer of couscous flavored with olive oil, lemon juice, olives, capers, and raisins, was delicious […]
Summer has been very hot in New Jersey this year. I don’t think it’s usually quite this hot, although I don’t know for certain as it’s only our second summer here. When the heat rivals summer in the Midwest, meals for us usually consist of […]
This One-Pan Farro with Tomatoes is one of my favorite new dishes. It’s vegan and takes only 10 minutes to prep before putting it on the stove and walking away!
Edit 2017: If you want a half whole grain multigrain bread, check out this recipe. My goal in closing out the year – beyond just meeting my goal of making 50 bread recipes this year – was to not double-up on blog posts as 2014 […]

The other day I made a delicious Butternut Squash, Cranberry, and Sorghum Salad. I’d never used sorghum before, but I had to try it when I saw an inexpensive bag of it at a supermarket a few months ago. I decided to try it when […]
Granola is one of those foods that I go through phases with. I enjoy making it and eating it, but then I move on to something else. I had made granola a little while ago and still had a jar or two of it sitting […]
I’ve published a new blog post every day for the past 14 days. So exciting! I didn’t get blog posts up so regularly even when I was doing my 365 recipe challenge in 2010. It’s addictive; I don’t want to stop! I’ve more-or-less blogged about […]
I’m Leona. My superpowers are keeping my family stocked with cookies, and eating those cookies.
Thanks for joining me here for some of my favorite recipes! Mostly sweets, of course, but sometimes I bake bread and make other things, too.
